Fox Bet to develop XFL Super 6 game

Fox Bet has agreed a deal to become the authorized betting partner of the soon-to-be launched XFL football league.

Under the terms of the deal, Fox Bet will promote and offer XFL-centric betting markets and create a free-to-play version of its Fox Sports Super 6 game throughout the 10-week XFL season and during the knockout phase of the tournament.

The XFL free-to-play game will offer guaranteed cash prizes and will be promoted to the Fox Sports Super 6 database every week.

The XFL is owned by Alpha Entertainment, a company operated by WWE chairman Vince McMahon and will be revived this week following a 19-year absence.

The football franchise comprises eight teams owned and operated by the league spread across several US states. It will launch this weekend.

Fox Bet CEO Robin Chhabra said: “We are thrilled to be an authorized gaming operator of the XFL and part of all the excitement surrounding the league’s kickoff this February.

“Just as they are re-imagining the game of football in America, we at Fox Bet are re-imagining the sports experience for fans across the country,” Chhabra added.

As part of the agreement, Fox Bet has the right to use the XFL’s official data feed, league marks, team logos, player and coach likeness and certain league content across its Fox Bet sports betting app and Fox Sports Super 6 free-to-play game.

Jeffrey Pollack, president and COO of the XFL, said he was very happy to partner with such an important operator within the US sports betting community.

”We want what our fans want and legal sports betting is an important part of the fan experience that will allow them to connect more strongly with the XFL,” Pollack said.

ESPN announced this week it would display in-game odds provided by Caesars and offer betting commentary during XFL games.

The league has also signed deals with DraftKings and FanDuel to provide official data.
